I made a community for posting cover songs!

Hey Beehaw friends. I made a community over on the reddthat.com instance where musicians can share cover songs they’ve made or collaborated on! I didn’t see anything like this on Lemmy so far, and wanted to make a place where people can share and get advice/help! If you’re a musician and have cover videos of anything (open to all genres), please come post!

[For fans of Heavier Music] August Burns Red - Beauty in Tragedy

"Angry Music for Happy People"

August Burns Red (ABR) is probably my favorite band of all time, and yesterday they announced that their album "Rescue and Restore" is being repressed for the first time in celebration of it's tenth birthday! So I thought I'd share my favorite song off the album. It's a song about losing someone you love, and something that most people can (unfortunately) relate to.

One of their slogans, as I referenced above, is angry music for happy people. Their singer started a mental health focused gym recently (your life gym), and as a band they recently organized and hosted "Heart Support" festival. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope some of you enjoy it! I'll post the lyrics in a separate comment if anyone cares to read them.

diy·Do It YourselfbyLemmyAtem

This is very small potatoes, but I DIY'd a paver stone pad for my trash cans so they'd stop getting infested with bugs.

My wife and I have been complaining about how our trash cans keep getting infested with creepy crawlies that that build nests in the wheels out of the plant debris nearby. I had no idea how go best go about fixing this, so I just did it. I bought ten of these 16x16" paver stones, dug down a little, and used that big ass wood beam thing in the photo as a sort of leveler. It's actually blacktop about 4" down, so compaction should be minimal. Once I had them flush and evenly spaced, I backfilled around the edges so they stay flush and not shift too much. Then I hosed the area down a few times and added more backfill anywhere that settled or had gaps remaining.

We are redoing the landscaping at the house next year, so this won't be permanent, but for now it should help keep the area free of debris, and be less appealing to bugs.

I DIY'd a brick pad for my trashcans so they stop getting infested with bugs.

First, I'm sorry if this isn't 100% on brand, I know that this is more of a community betterment aimed community, but I wanted to post here because it can be very hard/overwhelming to take on personal improvement projects when you're not sure how to do them. So I was hoping it would help people! Mods if this is too off topic, I 100% am good with you deleting it.

Then I backfilled around the edges so they sit fairly flush and won't settle too much. It won't be perfect, but long term we want to replant this area of the yard anyway. Not every solution needs to be the very best or permanent, even if it just helps for a little while, it helps!
